There’s a long running joke in The Listening Post that there are dozens of “Witch” and “Witch” bands and they are never seen in the same room because they are all the same damned band.
Here’s the first one of the decade and, you know what? They haven’t fully traded in the Rock for Satan yet and so, while they thrash like mad (First Thrash record of the decade!) they are also having a blast with a wink and a nod.
The production is terrible. It’s tinny and weak. But, that just makes it more charming to me. This is the band that inspired Lars Ulrich. I hear all of it in there, despite the shitty recording. I kind of wish Metallica had tried their hand at this Queen-esque multi layered vocals, too, cuz I love ‘em.
